23. Let me get this straight.

In this OP and others you say "Sanders' behavior ... can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand."

You admit: "The usage 'hidden hand' is a fairly common means of evoking the action of conspirators working behind the scenes out of sight."

Yes. That's why I asked you to identify those conspirators.

But then you duck the issue and explain: "[My words] come[s] nowhere near stating that some 'hidden hand' is behind Sanders refusing to end his campaign. The statement [is] simply ... a vivid usage"

No hidden hand, no conspirators.

I suggest that for you to suggest there is a hidden hand behind Sanders and then, when pressed, saying your phrase was just a "vivid usage" is irresponsible.

And please, lose the superior, condescending attitude.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
